Amazon.co.uk Review
Elizabeth was taken from David one night, tortured, killed and abandoned by the serial murderer known as KillRoy; he was left for dead. Eight years later, he gets an e-mail which leads him to a camera feed, and sees her standing on a street corner looking at him. And suddenly he is on the run, accused of her murder and of others, dependent on the whim of a violent pusher whose child's life he saved. Harlan Coben's new thriller Tell No One is a terrifying kinetic novel of abuse of power, false accusation and the things that go wrong with the most careful of schemes. David Beck is a memorable character--a dedicated doctor whose mourning for his wife has gradually become itself a sort of paralysis, but who has a surprising resilience under stress; he has not got much going for him in the terrible situations in which he finds himself, but he makes ingenious use of what he has got. This is an intelligent thriller in which we get to watch suspect, police and some very unpleasant heavies chase each other around in impressively convoluted circles. Coben is one of the best multiple-bluffers in the business. --Roz Kaveney

AMAZING July 7, 2008
This was the first Coben book I read and it gave me a real taste for his work. I could not put the book down and was rushing home from work just to finish it! A real change from the predictable crime genre - an easy yet fullfilling read. I want more!

Is it just me.....? May 31, 2008
Having read through a lot of the reviews on here, it's apparent that this book has been a lot of people's first introduction to Harlan Coben, which is probably why it's had so many 5-star ratings. Me, I started on his books chronologically, so the first several I read were all Myron Bolitar "adventures". This was the first not to feature him, though I am not convinced. To me, David Beck IS Myron Bolitar and, although Win, Esperanza etc don't feature, in some ways they do (Tyrese = Win, Shauna = Esperanza, for instance). Some of the bit-part characters from the previous book also put in an appearance, such as Hester Crimstein, and the cop duo of Dimonte and Krinsky. I'm not saying it's a bad book (indeed, I quite enjoyed it), it just isn't different enough from any of the earlier offerings. Gone For Good is next on my Coben reading list, so we shall see whether the Bolitar formula is still intact for that one.

A man receives an email from his wife who was kidnapped and murdered eight years previously, I just couldn't resist and had to read this one.

My first book by this author and certainly won't be my last, plenty of twists and turns and kept me enthralled right to the end.

Highly recommended reading!

A DIFFICULT ONE.. March 18, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

THIS IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS YOU HAVE TO READ AND JUDGE FOR YOURSELF. WHILST YOU DO WANT TO KNOW THE OUTCOME, YOU CAN`T HELP THINKING AT TIMES `OH GET ON WITH IT !`
RATHER UNREALISTIC AT CERTAIN POINTS, AND TOO MUCH DETAIL AT OTHERS - LIKE HOW A PC WORKS - ( I THINK WE ALL KNOW THAT..... ) AND THE ENDING RATHER PREDICTABLE.
ALL IN ALL NOT BAD, BUT YOU CAN SKIP SEVERAL PAGES HERE AND THERE AND NOT MISS A THING..

Another solidly entertaining thriller from Coben. Good characterisation, enough twists to keep you guessing and a powerful sense of disorientation as the action plays out through the eyes of the main character David. He doesn't know whether his wife is back from the dead, has no idea why she might have lied to let him think she had been killed, and is afraid he is the victim of a cruel hoax. The book also has a good cast of supporting characters, from the sexy Shauna and feisty lawyer to the terrifyingly brutal Eric Wu. You won't want to put it down
